Micro Beans Rip-Off?!


Question: There is a new range on the market of a well known manufacturer of beans.They want £1.50 for 4 tiny pots when I can go to my local mini-market and get the same brand, but the full size tins for £1.Is this a mega rip off or what?

Lazy people with more money than sense will buy these. I know they are supposed to be convenient but it's not exactly like the cans are really difficult to open!

stick with heinz 57

I saw them advertised this morning and though they looked really good. Like if you only want a few you dont have to waste a whole tin.

£1.50 is a bit much for some beans though.
But they would be handy for work and stuff:)

handy for the kids

two words . genetically modified.

Reidster - duh - it IS Heinz she is talking about.

Yeah, they are just for lazy people who don't want to open a tin, pour them into a container and microwave them. If they are that lazy they deserve to pay more!

I like Aldi,Netto and Lidl Baked Beans, so much nicer than Heinz or any other makes come to that. I can get 5 protions out of one tin (don't like too many on a round of toast.) They ar 21p a tin so that makes it approx 4p a portion.
Yes Micro beans are a rip off how lazy can people be not to open a can?

Yup. These compnaies will do anything to rob people of their money. Like you said, a full tin is twice the size, half the price. Obviously your not foolish enough to buy them which is the main thing lol :)

I just buy the Tesco cheapie tins. They have too much salt in though.

totally!!! I like that advert tho
